Would install Ubuntu on the Laptop today!

I had fun playing with KDE4 on Dr. Puri’s laptop. So, what do I do? Make some space on my laptop and prepare to install Ubuntu using Wubi. That’s what I am going to do today.

Tada! Let’s hope wireless and webcam works. I have little hope on that Creative Webcam I have… Broadcom Wi-Fi? Again little hope.

It gives me a good enough reason to come over to Techwhack headquarters and get my laptop mended....:) I am loving KDE and despite some errors (because it's still anyway running over Windows installation), its a perfect match. I am waiting for the CD that I had ordered and since my webcam works, I dont have a pressing need to get my Windows installation really on. Unless, the Wifi is made to work; which is an issue anyway...
